The Counseling program in the Wappingers Central School District is based on the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model. At the elementary level, School Counselors will proactively serve the developmental, academic, and personal/social needs of every student through individual and group counseling, whole school programming, and classroom guidance activities. Middle level guidance will focus more on fostering social skills and developing student interests. Collaborating with school personnel, parents, and community members, school counselors help provide equitable access to learning and empower students to embrace their full potential in an environment that embraces diversity.
